* vim-patch:9.1.1076: vim_strnchr() is strange and unnecessary (#32327)zeertzjq2025-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: vim_strnchr() is strange and unnecessary (after v9.1.1009) Solution: Remove vim_strnchr() and use memchr() instead. Also remove a comment referencing an #if that is no longer present. vim_strnchr() is strange in several ways: - It's named like vim_strchr(), but unlike vim_strchr() it doesn't support finding a multibyte char. - Its logic is similar to vim_strbyte(), but unlike vim_strbyte() it uses char instead of char_u. - It takes a pointer as its size argument, which isn't convenient for all its callers. - It allows embedded NULs, unlike other "strn*" functions which stop when encountering a NUL byte. In comparison, memchr() also allows embedded NULs, and it converts bytes in the string to (unsigned char). closes: vim/vim#16579 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/34e1e8de91ff4a8922d454e3147ea425784aa0a0

* build(deps): vendor libvterm at v0.3.3Christian Clason2024-08-10
| | | | | | | | Problem: Adding support for modern Nvim features (reflow, OSC 8, full utf8/emoji support) requires coupling libvterm to Nvim internals (e.g., utf8proc). Solution: Vendor libvterm at v0.3.3.

* vim-patch:9.1.0645: regex: wrong match when searching multi-byte char ↵zeertzjq2024-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | case-insensitive Problem: regex: wrong match when searching multi-byte char case-insensitive (diffsetter) Solution: Apply proper case-folding for characters and search-string This patch does the following 4 things: 1) When the regexp engine compares two utf-8 codepoints case insensitive it may match an adjacent character, because it assumes it can step over as many bytes as the pattern contains. This however is not necessarily true because of case-folding, a multi-byte UTF-8 character can be considered equal to some single-byte value. Let's consider the pattern 'ſ' and the string 's'. When comparing and ignoring case, the single character 's' matches, and since it matches Vim will try to step over the match (by the amount of bytes of the pattern), assuming that since it matches, the length of both strings is the same. However in that case, it should only step over the single byte value 's' by 1 byte and try to start matching after it again. So for the backtracking engine we need to ensure: * we try to match the correct length for the pattern and the text * in case of a match, we step over it correctly There is one tricky thing for the backtracing engine. We also need to calculate correctly the number of bytes to compare the 2 different utf-8 strings s1 and s2. So we will count the number of characters in s1 that the byte len specified. Then we count the number of bytes to step over the same number of characters in string s2 and then we can correctly compare the 2 utf-8 strings. 2) A similar thing can happen for the NFA engine, when skipping to the next character to test for a match. We are skipping over the regstart pointer, however we do not consider the case that because of case-folding we may need to adjust the number of bytes to skip over. So this needs to be adjusted in find_match_text() as well. 3) A related issue turned out, when prog->match_text is actually empty. In that case we should try to find the next match and skip this condition. 4) When comparing characters using collections, we must also apply case folding to each character in the collection and not just to the current character from the search string. This doesn't apply to the NFA engine, because internally it converts collections to branches [abc] -> a\|b\|c fixes: vim/vim#14294 closes: vim/vim#14756 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/22e8e12d9f5034e1984db0c567b281fda4de8dd7 N/A patches: vim-patch:9.0.1771: regex: combining chars in collections not handled vim-patch:9.0.1777: patch 9.0.1771 causes problems Co-authored-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>
* perf(filetype): implement parent pattern pre-matching (#29660)Evgeni Chasnovski2024-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: calling `vim.filetype.match()` has performance bottleneck in that it has to match a lot of Lua patterns against several versions of input file name. This might be the problem if users need to call it synchronously a lot of times. Solution: add "parent pattern pre-matching" which can be used to quickly reject several potential pattern matches at (usually rare) cost of adding time for one extra Lua pattern match. "Parent pattern" is a manually added/tracked grouping of filetype patterns which should have two properties: - Match at least the same set of strings as its filetype patterns. But not too much more. - Be fast to match. For them to be effective, group should consist from at least three filetype patterns. Example: for a filetpye pattern ".*/etc/a2ps/.*%.cfg", both "/etc/" and "%.cfg" are good parent patterns (prefer the one which can group more filetype patterns). After this commit, `vim.filetype.match()` on most inputs runs ~3.4 times faster (while some inputs may see less impact if they match many parent patterns).
* refactor: add xmemcpyz() and use it in place of some xstrlcpy() (#28422)zeertzjq2024-04-20
| | | | | | Problem: Using xstrlcpy() when the exact length of the string to be copied is known is not ideal because it requires adding 1 to the length and an unnecessary strlen(). Solution: Add xmemcpyz() and use it in place of such xstrlcpy() calls.

* fix(mbyte): fix bugs in utf_cp_*_off() functionsVanaIgr2024-02-26
| | | | | | Problems: - Illegal bytes after valid UTF-8 char cause utf_cp_*_off() to fail. - When stream isn't NUL-terminated, utf_cp_*_off() may go over the end. Solution: Don't go over end of the char of end of the string.
